Barnbougle & King Island Tasmania

Ranked 4th on the list of Australia’s Best Public Golf courses by Golf Digest in 2024, experience rolling dunes and unsurpassed 360 degree ocean views. With two spectacular signature par threes crossing the surging Southern Ocean it is sure to challenge and delight.

Ocean Dunes Golf Course, situated on the western coast of King Island, Tasmania, presents a compelling and challenging links experience. This 18-hole course is distinguished by its integration with the rugged coastal environment, offering golfers a visually striking and strategically demanding round. Characterised by undulating fescue fairways, bentgrass greens, and the prevailing influence of the Southern Ocean, Ocean Dunes stands as a notable destination for discerning golfers seeking an authentic test of their game amidst the untamed beauty of King Island.

Construction of the course was completed in late 2015, under the watchful eye of co-designers Mike DeVries (USA) and Darius Oliver (AUS), and quickly gained international recognition in the world rankings. Since then avid golfers have continued to travel from all around the globe to visit King Island in order to experience Cape Wickham Links for themselves.

Every hole on the course has an ocean view, which is extremely rare, and no 2 holes are the same. The undulating course normally plays firm, allowing the imagination to go wild with limitless shot-making possibilities. Tees, Fairways and Greens are all seeded with fescue grass, following in the footsteps of the old traditional links courses in Scotland and Ireland.
